Eh, sure Leif Erickson may have been the first person we know of to find the New World, but I don't find him helping out the European powers towards New World expansion. Erickson, "Hey some heap of land no westerner was ever on before...eh this is boring, lets go back and raid the British coast line a few more times." Columbus, "Hey some heap of land no westerner was on before (I think)...lets grab some land."
